One of the most iconic Nike Basketball models of the mid '90s is on its way back in both old and new color schemes.

Undeniably the best colorway though is this Magic-inspired pair leading the return of the Air Up, which was rocked on the court numerous times by Penny Hardaway during his rise to stardom with Orlando. A combination of black and white creates the unique colorblock throughout the upper, while royal hits the Swoosh logos and accents throughout.

The Nike Air Up is set to release this Saturday, January 18th at select spots such as Sneaker Bistro.
